AMI Sector One: Update with additional games
Bernd Gmeineder wrote:
'Paradox Software' and 'Hartwerk' are two more companies allowing us to make their software available for free at AMI Sector One. Some of the games and applications, which now can be legally downloaded, are 'ST-Protector', 'War Zone', and the translation software 'Translate It'. Beside of these there is also Ed Scio's futuristic flight simulation 'Armour-Geddon'. Various interesting public domain games and new Emerald Mine clones round out this little update.

New screenshot of AmigaDE/Sheep
Fleecy Moss has provided a new Screenshot of AmigaDE. An open window shows the sourcecode of a "Sheep" program:



"Sheep" is a scripting language (similar to ARexx) which is part of AmigaDE.

Update (06.12.2012, cg): integrated the screenshot into the news item. (ps) (Translation: rh)

Programming language: Emperor V4.1
Emperor is an object oriented programming language enabling programming of applications both for the new AmigaOS 3.9 and for AmigaOS 2.0 in the easiest way. Standard GUI elements, windows, menus, requesters, ASL requesters, ReAction and GadTools gadgets are integrated just by mouse-clicks and can be programmed using macro functions and the integrated text editor.

The gadgets can communicate with each other by the so called interconnection maps implemented, without typing even one line of source code. Creating of locale catalogs and variables, implementing libraries, etc. is likewise easy.

Emperor has an easy to see though and user friendly ReAction interface and comes with an extended online manual in ".guide" format. Thus programming the new AmigaOS becomes child's play!

Emperor has the following features:
  • Direct visualising available for every element.
  • Generates C/C++- source code.
  • Integrated text editor
  • StormC connection via ARexx
  • Generates source code for AmigaOS 2.0, AmigaOS 3.9 or in mixed mode
  • Transparent layout
  • GIFTWARE
Characteristics of Emperor v4.1:
  • French catalog added (written by Olivier Martin - many thanks!).
  • Translation for prepared menus and gadgets added.
  • Attributes for text editor, speed-bar, and space-gadget added.
  • New and specialized type of requester (Reaction style).
  • ARexx script changed / problems while project transfer fixed.
  • Fix positions for attribute window removed.
  • Problem with preview window fixed.
  • Array for speed-bar buttons added.
  • Problems with arrays fixed.
  • Adjustment fields extended with GadTools gadgets.
  • Configurable path to includes and libs.
  • Main window layout changed (no overlapping gadgets, anymore).
  • Requester added, if menu item "New" was chosen.
  • Error fixed in menu item "New".
  • Error fixed in menu item "Delete".
  • Selectable generation of macro functions.
  • Generated source code is considerably smaller by omitting unused macro functions (about 40 %).
  • Initially opened window for own project can be chosen.
  • Error fixed in source code when generated with one gadget only.
  • Specific project directory configurable.
  • Error fixed while opening old projects containing a slider.
  • Creation of locale files selectable.
  • Creation of Storm projects selectable.
  • Text editor now operates changes made correctly.
  • Saving of character lines containing a linefeed ('\n') is no problem, anymore.
  • amigaguide.library opened due to starting problems.
Version 4.1 of the program is available from Aminet "dev/c".

Tool: Amiga Filterium - extendable ripper and filetype tool
With the following message Andreas 'da Silva' Szabo introduces his new, flexible and extendable datatype processor and Ripper.

Short: flexible filetype processor and ripper
Uploader: silva@psi5.com
Author: silva@psi5.com (Andreas 'da Silva' Szabo)
Type: util/misc
Version: 1.1, 7/2001
Requires: - any amiga or uae
- filerequester library like asl, reqtools or arp
- optionally xfd/xpk/xad/xvs...
Distribution: NoCD

features overview:
  • knows, rips, converts a total value of about 400 game/demo scene related file types (about 100 self, others by accessing libraries)
  • find music, pictures, text and much more in memory, in files like demos/intros, packed files, etc
  • decrunch with XFD/XAD/XPK (all modes) recursively
  • convert mods back to Protracker (like Prowizard)
  • rip loaders and intros from boot loading games/demos
  • monitor files or memory as bitplane/hex/asc, mark ranges
  • decrypt data with eor
  • use your preferred file requester
  • check for viruses with XVS
  • highly configurable
  • interactive and automatically processing by script language


This introduces a _new_ standard of file type identification and ripper all in one. It works together with standard interfaces like shell (give arguments in command line), Workbench (set tooltypes), opus, arexx and appicon.

Highly configurable, for example: you can specify file type specific save directories and output filename extensions. Macros for custom processing methods can be defined.

It can invoke external programs, example: send the outputs to Multiview.

Amiga Filterium is based on plugins. Programmers can easily extend the power of this tool by writing more afilter-plugins. If you are interested:

The purpose of this release is to motivate YOU to try this out and maybe join to the development team as author of a plugin, beta tester or other. Its totally actual and maybe there was never something else like this. Lets get this chance! Lets make it top and standard!
